Yeah, this movie looks like it’s getting the plot details right but missing the greater point. Another problem is how everything is depicted as brown and dreary right from the start. One of the big themes of the book was how easily a brutal dictatorship could co-exist with “wholesome” Americana, and making the world feel weird and alien goes completely against that.
Ah that’s an interesting change.
